Authorities are seeking the public's help finding a driver who they said tried to drive under a moving railroad crossing gate in Burlington on Thursday.

A railways employee told Burlington police that about 12:20 p.m., a truck tried to pass under the Flynn Avenue rail crossing gates that was being lowered again for a second train.

Police said the truck, which broke the gates, is described as an early to mid-2000s gray or silver Ford F-250 or F-350 with an 8-foot bed and a regular cab. It had a black grill, a white fiberglass cap on the bed and a ladder rack on top of the cap, which was possibly damaged.

The truck was driven by a white male in his 40s, officers said.

The investigation is ongoing, police said.

Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call the Burlington Police Department at 802-540-2308.
